Thanks dp,now I don't feel like a fool anymore. I have installed arch many times so I know the us kemap layout pretty good now.
Hope the other guy sees your cool pic!

it's not my pic ... it's a crosslinked pic from the web ... and the colored buttons do not have any meaning for us :-)

Hi dp
Can you not explain how you load your keymap when you boot up arch from cd.

you mean the installer-cd? i didnt loaded the keymap, because the elementary keys i know where they are on the us-keyboard

see this:
... the [/] is next to the right [shift] and the [=] is next to the [<-X-]

i dont know, if the installer-cd has kbd on it - because if it were there, then with loadkeys it would work (you must be root to use loadkeys)

2)edit /etc/rc.conf: change the KEYMAP to

KEYMAP="es-cp850.map.gz"

reboot and hope that it works

good luck

I'm also a newbie and when I think of it I never managed to get my swedish keymap to load either. I installed with us layout,it's painful but it is possible to do it.
es-cp850 is the right one for you so if you just do an arch base installation and put that keymap in /etc/rc.conf and reboot you are done.
Maybe mr green can help you more,look for him in here,or dp
Hasta la vista for now]]>https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=13712004-05-12T23:12:14Zhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=26629#p26629Hi all, i'm new to AL. I'm spanish user, so when booting i cannot use chars like "/", that are very important, so i tried to load keymap "es" or "es-cp850", but "loadkeys" cannot find them.
